June: It's time for Zone Conference.

Zone conference with the Missionaries from Barbados and Grenada.

What a special opportunity to rub shoulders with President and Sister Mehr and participate in the training of the young missionaries. 

 

 What a fine looking group of people, especially the guy on the far right seated on the front row.

Front Row:  The 2 assistants to the President, President  Mehr, Sister Mehr, Sister Smith, Elder Smith, Sister Moore, Elder Moore. 

 



Once More to Guyana

Here we are back in Guyana.  This time it was to help with the setup for a Vision Project.  This project is to help organizations that work with the poor.  It helps to provide the necessary equipment to improve the eye care that these people receive.
 

 

Of course if you are near the water, you must take a picture of a boat.  This is one of the local fishing boats.  We assume the poles are where he has his nets set.

This is the waiting room at the hospital.  No this is not the emergency room.  These people are waiting to see the ophthalmologist.

 

If your near the water there should be a light house.

 

What a dizzying view.

 

Here we are on top of the world.

 

OK it's just the top of the lighthouse in Georgetown, Guyana.

 

Georgetown is really colorful from up above.

 

This is the tallest wooden church in the America's.  It is in Georgetown, Guyana.

This is the ophthalmologist who sets up the vision project.

June The Month of Humanitarian and Service Projects

We were told about a possible Humanitarian project at the Sharon Primary School here in Barbados.

 

We went to check out what the project would entail.  Below are pictures of the play area that they would like help in renovating.

 

The fence is down and the playground is over grown and the equipment can use some tender loving care.

 

The yellow building is one of the buildings housing classrooms at the school.

 

We went to Cyralene's Senior Citizen Home and presented a movie.  Some of the seniors are in their 90's. 



 

We had attendee's from the Blackrock, Barbados Branch and the Missionaries serving in that Branch.  No the cute blond in the middle is not a resident, yet.

 

And of course we had the opportunity to do a puppet show about the dangers of alcohol abuse.  This show was at the St. John's Primary School on the east side of Barbados.

 

 

On the left is Elder Hopkins, one of the puppeteers.  On the right is Elder Richardson who is asking the students questions about what they have just watched.

 

Some of the students were very eager to raise their hands and answer the questions.

 

Sometimes there was quite a few wanting to answer. 

After the puppet show the students met the puppeteers.
